Injury Report: Lindsey Hunter
Veteran guard Lindsey Hunter did not participate in the Pistons first practice on Tuesday due to a sore left ankle. He will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his ankle on Wednesday, October 5th. Pistons Strength and Conditioning Coach Arnie Kander explained that the surgery is a fairly minor procedure to merely clean out “debris” found inside the joint. Considering Hunter’s style of play and his tough defense, Kander says they will not rush his recovery time, but he is expected to return towards the end of the week. Dr. Arthur Manoli from St. Joseph Mercy Medical Center in Pontiac will perform the surgery.

Milicic
Progress of Darko
Flip Saunders feels that Milicic has noticeably improved his strength during the Pistons brief off-season. While it does not appear that he has gained much weight, Milicic has definitely gotten stronger. Saunders plans to give the young center a chance to prove himself and will not be forcing him to play in the low post. Milicic has excellent passing skills and moves off the dribble, which could shape him into quite a perimeter-oriented big man.

Day
Who’s that?
The Pistons brought in Todd Day, 35, to work out with the team during training camp. Day, who hasn’t played in the NBA since he rounded out his career with the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2001, isn’t officially on the Pistons training camp roster. Day is a 6-6, 188-pound guard who has most recently played for the Arkansas Rimrockers of the ABA during the 2004-05 season.

Good to hear about Darko, I'm so excited for this season because now we will get a chance for Darko to make or break himself.

I am very glad to hear all the news on him this summer has been very postive. Hopefully he shows the improvement in the preseason games.

Hopefully everything with Lindsey goes well. That type of surgery is usually nothing to worry about. Everything thing else sounds good.

They said he would be back to training camp this weekend. He might be able to play at the end of the month if all goes well. It really sounds like they don't want him to come back quickly. Alex Acker and Carlos Arroyo are going to be very lucky it sounds.

I know that they are planning on cutting Lindsey's minutes this year. Which is ok with my I am glad he is still on the team. He will also help during playoffs. Lindsey is a blue collar guy, good a Piston as there is.

I am all for letting Acker and Arroyo show us what they can do. If one of those guys steps up this preseason we are in very good shape.
